As the freezing rain continues, very heavy ice is expected to form on roads, streets, wires, tree branches, and other surfaces. Consequently, the Latvian Center for Environment, Geology and Meteorology (LVĢMC) and the State Fire and Rescue Service (VUGD) have issued an orange warning (danger) for Vidzeme region and a yellow warning (potential danger) for much of the rest of the country with the exception of western Kurzeme and south-eastern Latgale, where conditions may not be so severe.
